The next chapter is an address to the Mechan

most interesting portions of the book, next to the

lubject of comparison with a similar pne'doliror-

precisely similar institution in this country. On
such a comparison overy render will bo itruok,
not by superiority-of one orator ovoK tho oilier,

IFF A Great deal is said about the age ofGen
Harrison. The proof that he has a sounder
mind than any of his accusers willnotdo in these
days.
It can be asserted without fear of contradic
tion, that Gen. Harrison is equally eligible with
Mr- Van Buren on the score of age. It is truo
that some men lose their mental powers at the
age ofGen. Harrison, bat ndl while they retain
their physical strength. He is an tble-bodied man
and will bo doubt continue so.
Wasiiinoton retired from the Presidency in his
66th year, in full vigor. Gen. Harrison is ac-
cording to hit own statement in a late speech 67.
JKrrKR«oK,AlADiioN, Monroe and Jackson, all
bold office until they were from 05 to 70. The
younger Adams, and we believe the elder one
would have been past 65 if they had been elected
for the second term.
’ Washington was made Cororaander-in-Cliief
of the Army after his retirement. The corres-
pondence of Air. Jefferson, Air. Madison,
and the elder Adams, shews that thoir mental
powers were unimpaired until long after the age
of 70. Air. Monroe and Gen. Jackson were
certainly as able when they left office as when
they entered it.
Dr. Franklin was chosen member of the Con
vention for forming our ConstiUition at the ago
of 81. Modern Van Buren politicians seem
hardly able to comprehend the reach and activity
of minds, burnished up by frequent eud rough
contact with the iron strength of those minds,
which directed under Providence, the destiuies of
our country in timos past.

JOHN MONCRIKFF, Rec’g. Scc’ry.
Hon. Richard Henry Wildp..—It is a source
of extreme pleasure to us, and we ere sure it
will be to every advocate of Reform in.Georgia,
to learn that this distinguisbefi sou of Georgia
and fuilhful public servant, one too whom they
have so often delighted to honor, after having
accomplished tho object of his visit to Europe,
is about to return again to the bosom of his
friends, and may be expected during the month
of November, to sethis foot again upo'n the soil
of Georgia.—Augusta Chronicle.
Extracts from Van Buren’s speech in the Sen.
ate of the United States in J628, on an amend,
inent to the rules of tiie Senate, proposing to give
the Vice President the right of calling to order
for words spoken in debate.
" He must indeed be a miserable judge ofpub*
lie sentiment, who cannot see, in its daily iudica*
tions, that the same spirit which once before res
cued iho Constitution from the bauds of its enc-
mies, isat this moment fully roused.
“ The excesses of tiie last three years havo pro
duced in this country changes of public opinion,
wholly without precedent. Tho time is not fnr
distaut, when the interpolations which have been
attempted upon the Constitution, with the wretch
ed sophisms by which they are supported, will
bo the subjects of severe reprehensiou."
Letters and Speeches on various Subjects—by Lord
Brougham, 2vols.
The first of these is addresed to no less a per
sonage than her Alajeaty Queen Vjctorio. It is
on the subject of the present condition and de
mands of the Empire, viewed in relation to tiie
march of liberal opinions. The occasion of the
late attempt to form a Tory Ministry, which was
resisted, and successfully resisted, owing to the
personal predelictiona of the Queen, is seized
upon os the ground work of tho essay; for essay
it is of tiie most elaborate kind. The principle of
representation, according to population, is most
ably discussed, and the half way reforms of the
Reform Parliament scouted to the winds. He
censures the Duke of Wellington on one side,
and the Noble Viscount at tho head of tho AJin-
istry on the other, in the mosi republican fashion,
and even tolls this girl (as he docs not hesitate
to call her) some known truths. There ore very
few minds of the present age capable of inditing
such a loiter and still fewer, who have ihe
bolduess to speak such unpalatable truths in such
a quarter.
The next letter is addressed to his old friend
and patron, tiie Duke of Bedford, on tlio subject
ofNotional Education. IfLord Brougham hod ne-
ver given any other evidence than this letter, it
would richly entitle him to rank among the be
nefactors of his ogo. His character and motives
havo been very much misrepresented and misun
derstood iu this conntry.
The next letter is addressed to Sir Samuel
Rome!/, ou tlio subject of " Thenbuao of Chari-
ties.” Altfiough thin letter is mostly an explana-
tion and defence of his Put liamcntarycourse, os
the head of a committee to examine into tho

A Great Bargain at Hand.—Notice is here
by given, that a public sale will take place at the
Ir/ute House, on the 4th March next of a splen
did collection of Regal Furniture-consisting of
Tabourets, Lounges, Divans, Damask Curtains,
Gold Spootls, Hemmed Kitchen TuwUs, and vari
ous other articles too tedious to mention, being
tho tame collection enumerated hy Colonel Ben
ton in his famous description of the "East Room,”
during Mr. Adams’ administration—(but which
articles were neither used or purchased by that
President, but reserved for Mr. Van Buren, at
better suited to a real Democratic President's hah
its.) Early notice of sale is hereby given with a
request that the same-be published in the Court
Journals of Europe, Egypt and Turkey—that the
Princes aud Potentates of thoso countries may
supply themselves—and the editors or publish
ers of said journals will insert said notice, and
send their bills to Kinderhookfor paymen'. Terms
of sale, Cash, in gold orailver, or Tiyusury Notes,
(provided said notes can be discounted at the
Bank of America.)
A great bargain is offered nt this sale, as the
"coming occupant" being an ohl fashioned Demo
crat, has ueither knowledge of, or use for, these
luxuries.
Also, at same time and place, will be offered for
sale, ti»e Official Organ and Extra, with the ser
vices of thoir respective editors. If tho value of
these be estimated at their cost to the people—the
undersigned can’t speak too highly in tbeir praise,
although many do class them among tlietod spec
ulations of the times, costing more thun they will
bring. They will be found, however,admirably
calculated for Aard currency countries, being great
issuers of paper in exchange for gold or silver.
Tho people of this country being ignorant of
their value, will not probubly bid high for retain-
ingthcin, andagreut bargain may be oxpcctod.
Terms of sale made to suit convenience of pur
chasers. By order of the People.

Alossrs. EoiTons: Tho Van Buren leaders are
vuinly essaying in impress upon tho public mind
that tlio success of the Whigs in the several States
has been assisted by British gold. How much
truth there is in this charge ol the Van Burenites,
may be inferred from the following extract ol a
letter which I huve just received from n manu
facturer in EnglandAmerica,” save tlm writ
er, "appears to bo inn very agitated state. It
appeurs from your letter (of the 27th June) that
you are near equally divided between your two
candidates. We wish tlint your election may
Imvc a tendency to promote the good of both A-
inerica a inf Britain. We in general wish forVun
Buren. We think he is the best man for us. A
protective tariff limy do us hurt, ns you know
tradn is onr dependence.” How characteristic of
British policy is this extract. Be not surprised if
Mr. Van Buren is assisted by British gold, ns thq
British manufacturers believe it to ho their inter
est to elect him. Let tho American citizens see
to this in time.
The letter from which the above extract is ta
ken is dated September 6,1840. Itsbull be seut

PETERSBURG, OCT. \5.-Cotton—Tho receipts
of the new crop are yet small—that which has
come to market has been sold at 9J a 10 cts.—of the
old crop bat little i« now on hand, prices of which are
8 a 9} cents,as to quality.
Retrocession.—The people of Alexandria, D.
C. Iiuve decided by a large majority to apply
for permission to "go buck" to Virginia. They
lose almost every thing desirable to citizens
nnd business men by their ennnoxion with the
District of Columbia; nnd whenever a small poli
tician wishes to distinguish himsolf by some
extraordinary act of devotion to the powers that
be, und nt tiie same time to avoid responsibility
to constituent na voters, he lets go a broad side
upon tlio District, sweeping away tho banks,
or destroying some other advantage, and there is
noremedy. Alexandria, therefore, which is real-
Jy a business place, wishes to|he placed in a busi
ness attitude.—Philadelphia Gazette.
Tender Avowal in the Way of Trade.—A young
end pretty girl stepped into a store where a
spruce young man, who had buon long enamored
but dared not speak, stood behind the .counter
selling dry poods. Iu order to remain ns long
ijble, she cheapened ever^ tiling,
at last
am cheating,
ns possibi
she suid, "I believe you tbiuk
you.” "Ob, no,” said the youngster, "to meyon
are always fuir.” "Weil/’ whispered the lady
blushing as she laid an emphasis on tho word,
"1 would not stay so long bargaining if you Were
not so dear.”
Satan reproving sin.—'The Globe says, "The
Central Whig Executive Franking Committee
it is said, are so intent upon reforming tiie morals
pf tiie country as to continue its labors on Sun
day ”
What would this sanctimonious hypocrite say
ifthe Whigs should have a political barbecue
and- jollification at a race course, on tho Sabbath;
as did his party in Aagiuta?— Wamngtun News.
NEW-YORK, OCT. 14.—Coffee—'The demand
continues moderate; in prices, however, we linve no
change to notice. The sales include 800 bags Brazil
at lu}alljcenta;3!H) Lagunyrn, 11; fiO.Cuba, 10j.aH
4 moa. ;and 350 St. Domingo, Dai)j cents, cash. The
stock of Brazil has been connidorably increased by
recent arrivals.
Cotton—The increased inquiry ior Cotton noticed
in our last has olmost entirely subsided, and the mar
ket closes inactive, with a downward tendency in pri
ces. The soles, which hove been principally lor home
use, embrace 500 bales of Upland and Florida at8j a
10j cents; 100 Mobile; 9 j a 10; and 200 Ncw-Orleaus,
8 j a 11 j—together 800 bales. Our annual statement,
which we publish to-day, forjtlie year ending 30th ult.,
shews the amount of the crop to have been 2,177,835
bales. Export to foreign ports, 1,876,0935; home
con;umption 295,193. , _
Flour—Since our last there has continued a good
sicody detnanafor Western Flour, mostly for the
Eastern^ market, and the sales are about *the
extent of all arriving. The receipts, though
considerable are considered moderate for tbo
season. Common brands Genessee sell readi
ly at 84,87j u 5,94, and for fancy brands $5 has
been paid. For Southern, which continues scarce^
there is but little iuquiry, and we have only to notice
sales ofGeorgetown in lots at95,37j; and'500bbls.

cleared on the 13th instant, a stock of49338 bSlet.
In our review of Saturday morning last we noticed
tho existence ofa pretty good demand on the'dlj
previous, at the decline then quoted. Atihougb trim,
actions since have been to a tolerably fair extem.yet
the market nas not possessed the least buoyancy of
character—indeed, it hos, ou tho contrary, exhibited
considerable heaviness, as the number of buyers Is
too limited to excite the slightest competition, but few
of them evincing much willingness to operate on ac
count oftbe low prices in Enelaiul and France, and
the unsettled state of political affairs between those
two countircs. The sales which amount to about 5040
bales, have been almost nxclosively confined to quail-
ties below good fair, and the rates paid are within
the range of our previous quotations. Good fair and
fino descriptions, continue comporatively scarce, but
they are not sought after at present pricer, which tuny
therefore be regarded as in a great measute nominsl.
The stock on sale iv quite large for this period of the

Sugar— Louisiana—The past few dnys hove afford
ed us no transactions of importance to notice in this
article, there being only a very limited demand, and
very little now left out oftbe hands of grocers, who
buy from each other to fill their orders, and await tbo
appearance of the new crop before making pbrehts-
es to Shy considerable extent We shhll,' therefore
haVd little to'remarit in tiiis department until the ndw
crop comes forward, which it is not likely to do, ini-
ny considerable quantity* before the 1st November.
The few sales that are making exhibit no chage from
the rates before current.
